Quarter 4 Week 4


Happy Monday!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! It was nice getting to spend time with family!

Last week in first grade was a busy one.  The first graders worked hard on their small moment narratives. Most of the students have finished their actual small moment narratives and will begin on what happened before that small moment and afterwards. The stories the students are writing are marvelous!! They are so creative and have grown so much in writing. It is so fun to see. We also explored sunrise, sunset and how the Earth's rotation causes the seasons. 

This week we will be...
  • Looking at commas in dates.
  • finishing up our small moment narratives and begin to add text features to our writing.
  • look at the phases of the moon and comparing the moon to earth and the sun.
  • Practice words in the oom pattern.

Math News from Miss Garcia


Our focus this week in first grade will be: Graphing, Fact Families, and both adding AND subtracting multiples of 10 from a given number.  The 1st graders have been working on this concept however, the standard states that they must MENTALLY know 10 more, 10 less and 1 more, 1 less than a given number.  So, while the kids are working with partners on this concept during an activity, Mrs. Bloomfield and I will be calling students back one at a time assessing them mentally.  Remember, this is a concept that they students can work on at home using their 100 chart that is in their binder.
